Does it put a spotlight on “media ethics,” @NPR? Or does it put a spotlight on the crusade by the Republican right to incite hatred against everyone who doesn’t conform to their medieval notions of gender and sexuality? https://press.coop/@NPR/111369799282591540

@JamesGleick @NPR It is an interesting question, though. When is it acceptable to expose the private life of a public person? The article touches on one example -- "outing" a prominent figure known for their hostility and opposition to gay rights -- which might be deemed ethical, though there is no evidence that it applies here. Other than profound hypocrisy on this level, it's hard to see a case for it.
